The walking shot - always a fun candid capture but a little dangerous for me when I blindly walk backwards into traffic!

A few Tips to Nail Your Winter Engagement Photos!
1.) Think about how you you do in the cold? (If cold weather makes you miserable, discomfort may show in the photos)
2.) Don't be afraid to dress in layers- stay warm. (Plus it makes more sense visually to be dressed for winter if you're being photographed in the snow)
3.) Avoid sessions in mid-day, when light reflects too much off the snow which will cause squinting
4.) Take a few Breaks! If you are out in the cold too long, red noses and ears start to appear. Get back in your vehicle or a building for a few minutes...warm up and then get back out there for some more great pictures!
5.) Fresh or Falling snow is Best...with any luck snow will be falling or your session will happen right after a fresh snow fall. But if not, have someone throw some fresh snow in the air over you, which can help recreate that romantic winter look.

🎶Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this🎶 #somethingjustlikethis

We did a Spring engagement session for these two, but because their wedding is in December, they wanted to do a Winter engagement session as well. :) It was definitely a “Winter” day, with the cloudy skies and cold breeze, but we still got some lovely smiles! ❤️

“I’m calling dibs. On your lips. On your kiss. On your time. Boy, I’m calling dibs . On your hand. On your heart. All mine.” ❤️

Fun fact after this shot we did it again & Brenda accidentally kneed Dan in the you-know-what. Poor Dan bent in pain while Brenda & both laughed hysterically. Dan recovered and it made for a memorable session. ☺️

Don’t worry,on their wedding day we won’t be doing a serious bucket lifts. 🙈

Braving the cold weather is worth all the chills. I feel like this December has been so busy that I haven’t had time to even post anything here. So much editing to be done, be back to posting more often in no time. Hope you’re all having an awesome week
